So sorry to hear of Robbie's passing.
Cannot think of GaTech without recalling the many great times and trips shared with Elmer Fudd. He was unique and caring in so many ways, but always quick with a smile or a repartee should he feel you needed one.
God Bless.

I always remember Mr. Horack with a wonderful smile as long as he had a golf club in his hand and eating in the Men's Card Room. He will be missed at HVCC Jo Love Wilson
